The FBI is investigating the placement of several nooses and signs on the Capitol grounds on the day before the November 27, 2018 Senate election. JJ obtained a copy of the police report. It is posted below.
A Capitol Police officer discovered seven nooses hanging from a tree on the south lawn on the Capitol grounds on the morning of November 26, 2018. There were several signs that "appeared to be politically motivated against U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.

One report states:

On Monday, November 26, 2018, at approximately 0830 hours, Lt. Eddie Washington, Officer William Smith and I, Sgt. Eugene Williams, Jr., responded to a noose/rope in a tree on the south lawn of the New Capitol. The rope was tied in a noose position. A news reporter, Reggi Dupree Marion, was advised by his supervisor to check out a report of a noose hanging from a tree at the New Capitol. Marion entered the New Capitol to report the situation.

Investigator Johnnie Bowden was contacted and advised of the situation.

The noose/rope was located in a tree on the south lawn of the New Capitol. The noose/rope was photographed and recovered by Lt. Washington. The noose/rope was secured at the New Capitol Police Office. Shortly, thereafter Assistant Chief King arrived at the New Capitol and took possession on the noose/rope.

In addition, several noose/ropes were found in other trees on the New Capitol grounds. Also, signs with Mississippi lynching information were found on the New Capitol grounds. The investigation continues.

The FBI is investigating the incident and has custody of all records, video recordings, and evidence.

A completely unsophisticated and ineffective political ploy which only plays in the political backwater which is Mississippi. No minds were changed, no votes were flipped and Mississippi remains what it has always been. The FBI knows who did it but will keep those results in their back pocket just in case...

wait wait wait wait a minute!!! original reports never included the fact that these signs were seen on the ground accompanying the nooses. one of the signs clearly states "we are hanging nooses to show that times haven't changed", followed by other pro-civil rights language.

total game changer. why were we fed the story that racists hung the nooses? i knew that the nooses were probably a stunt but i didn't know that police and/or the press had swept the signs under the rug, so to speak.

not surprised. they still were not able to throw the election. God Bless the village idiot CHS for still managing to pull out a victory.

Guys, don't you get it? To everyone in the media it's still 1955 in Mis'sippi. People either live in plantation mansions or in sharecropper shacks, half the population is shoeless and toothless, klansmen roam the streets in white robe and noble minorities cower in fear of being lynched.

Anything that might shatter that narrative is either ignored or printed on page 64 under the list of upcoming river stages.

You see, they need Mississippi as a whipping boy to avoid paying attention to the shortcomings and strife in their own backyards, so don't expect them to come to the Magnolia State with an open mind.

I agree with the other posters. This is clearly the work of Hillary, Chuck, Nancy, Jim Hood and the fake media in an effort to make the republican state look bad. No different than when they manufacture dui charges against our leadership or fake videos showing Cindy Smith saying these she never said. They are truly delusional.

Rest assured if the context of placement of the nooses indicated support for Hyde-Smith, then reporting would have commenced daily in the CL (and would continue non-stop) with full imputation of responsibility to Hyde-Smith, Trump, and the claimed horrible racial climate in Mississippi. Pulitzer prize recognition would be sought. A reporter would burnish his or her credentials as being the voice against racism in Mississippi.

But since one can easily conclude that left-wing agitators or Espy supporters placed the signs and nooses, the real story was never going to be pursued (i.e., the story of cynical use of racism and racist imagery in Mississippi for left-wing political purposes)-- except for outlets like JJ.

JJ, keep shining the light. Those who do this kind of thing are not friends of Mississippi.

Glad to see the follow-up. Wonder if we'd be seeing it had several of not posted periodically regarding lack of follow-up.

So...if I understand the report, a media outlet of some sort got an anonymous call and sent a black reporter (relative of ex-mayor Dupree?) swiftly to the scene to investigate and report this to the Capitol PoPo. Let's pretend every publisher and news anchor does NOT have Caller-ID on their phone.

What we will later learn (if anything) will be identical to the church torching and pro-Trump graffiti in Greenville during the presidential campaign...and that is that one or more citizens of color are the perps.

PS: Candidate Mike Espy rode into the campaign on a gleaming white horse with grande promises. I wonder if there are hoof prints on the capitol grounds.

Expose the perpetrators. That'll teach 'em. After that we can put to rest this business about Mississippi being the heart of racism and lynching. It was all a smear campaign in the first place. We know that most of 'em lynched themselves or each other just for the liberal media. This will prove it. The FBI is run by the liberal media so don't expect them to do anything. We should get a bunch of the real Southern patriots together and find these culprits and show 'em some Southern justice. Waiting for "investigation" is just a waste of time. Back in the ole days we would just drag em out and ...

@12:07 PM is right. Look at the state of the City of Jackson today! I bet we could make it as peaceful and prosperous as it was in 1955 if we all got together and went street by street, house by house, sweeping the streets and cleaning out the riffraff!

How's that shutdown working for you guys, wait Trump's going to declare a National Emergency! I can't wait for the next President, I can think of a few other National Emergencies. Elections have consequences!After Trump you boys who voted for him will never be in control again!

@4:38 PMYou are as delusional as Hillary on election night. Contrary to the fake media narrative, the President fills every stadium and venue to capacity when he has a rally. Democrats can't even fill a high school gym for a town hall meeting.

Trump may not have the support of Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow, but the majority of the nation supports him.

Before you retort that he lost the House, he didn't campaign for Reps, just Senators. And the Senate gained a larger majority.

The shutdown is doing nothing but proving who worthless the Federal government is. The longer long the shutdown lasts while life goes on fine for the citizens who aren't tax suckling parasites, the better.

Yeah 1:00. Just get things back to 1955. That was a great year. How many lynchings were there? Could you pass the literacy test that was given to blacks? And how many blacks would have been fired if they took off work to vote?

Life was tough for blacks in 1955 and have you ever heard the expression "what goes around comes around?" The cheating and thieving lynching, de jure and de facto that made those good ole days good for you has come back to haunt us. Blacks endured the oppression for many decades with a only a deaf ear to complain to. Are you man enough to deal with the pendulums return? "For they sow the wind and reap the whirlwind."

@5:58, the majority of the nation does not support Trump. All of the polls, including those conducted by conservative pollsters, put Trump’s approval rating at around 40%. But hey, he lies several times a day, so we forgive you.

GREENVILLE, MS (Ben Caxton) — The Leland man who touched off a nationwide firestorm by burning a Greenville church in 2016 now has a trial date. 46-year-old Andrew McClinton is headed to court on April 29th to face charges of first-degree arson and burglary. The Hopewell Baptist Church went up in flames in the late evening hours of November 1st, 2016. The church was found by firefighters tagged in spray paint with the words “Vote Trump”. McClinton, a former member of the church, was indicted and arrested on December 22nd and has been held since on $250,000 bond. If found guilty McClinton faces up to 20 years in prison.

Who is the Hottest Reporter in Jackson?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything). Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up. In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
